I was lucky enough to go out with Pure Birding while in Uvita, and had the best bird sightings during any of my trips to Costa Rica. We found several owl species, and a huge group of Scarlet Macaws, as well as myriad other species that can be seen in the area! The guides, Greivin and Andrea were so nice and knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to go to find our target species, which made the tour so much fun. I highly recommend booking with them to enjoy the best of what Uvita has to offer.
Greivin is the best!

We met Greivin for a Mangrove river boat tour with crocs, snakes, sloths, anteaters, monkeys, iguana, JC lizards, and tropical birds. He was so patient and helpful in pointing out critters and helping us get pictures. We then booked Greivin for whale watching and it did not disappoint! Though it’s early in the season, he located 2 mother humpbacks, each with calf’s. They showed us Sea turtles, Cocos Booby, Brown Noddy. Finally, we were staying at Casa Komorebi on a mountain above Uvita and since we’d been seeing and hearing so many types of birds, we booked Greivin to come up to the house. In 3 hours, he stunned us with over 30 different tropical birds right here in the property! He is the best nature guide we’ve found and also a very nice guy!

We had a group of six that thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Greivin. We saw so many birds and other animals that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise and got so much interesting information. Highly recommend this tour!

We took a three hour tour with Greiven, but he graciously allowed it to slip into four hours because we were having such a good time. It is remarkable to me how quickly ,after hearing a tweet from the jungle, he can zero us in on a particular bird and identify it. Or lizard, monkey, or sloth. He was passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly. You couldn’t ask for anymore. And I see the rest of the reviews confirm it.

Greivin is a fantastic guide. I mostly enjoy birding with him; he points out so many birds that I hadn’t seen and quickly identifies them for me, saving me a lot of time flipping through the bird guide, time that I can use to spot and photograph other birds. Greivin also takes excellent photos. I like it when he takes photos, using my phone, through his scope - a skill he has mastered. The results are incredible. I have hired Greivin multiple times because I am so very pleased with his work. He is also very pleasant company, always cheerful and patient.
Highly recommend

This was a great tour. Greivin is great. He has a small spotting scope you can look through and take photos. He really tries to make sure you get pictures if you want them, or just a good look at the birds. He also points out wildlife and knows where to find them. I highly recommend the night tour to see spiders, amphibians and reptiles. It is just a fun experience and he and his team are unbelievably good at what they do, finding birds and animals. A great atmosphere and would do it again.

We did a bird tour with Greivin. It was a fantastic experience. In addition to everything he spotted and showed, he was caring and had an eye for us. Because he is well known in the area we could go to places we would never have been otherwise. Wonderful to go on an adventure with him and discover the wildlife of Costa Rica. If you are staying in the area of Uvita we definitely recommend to do this with Greivin.
Wonderful guided birding tour.

Greivin was a terrific guide. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He was great at showing us the subtle distinguishing marks that help differentiate between two similar species. I could not be happier about our tour.
Great excursion!

Grevin is the birding guide you would want to be with. His knowledge and techniques are par excellence! Not only through his knowledge and experience but he has a great personality! Thanks Grevin. We successfully captured images of Costa Rican birds in their natural Habitat. Thank you!
